Vision and Values

Vision

We’re over the moon that you’ve taken the time to read our vision and values (or at least navigate to this page!). We hope that this will help to paint a more vivid picture of what gets us out of bed in the mornings and perhaps inspire you too.

We are passionate about seeing lives transformed for the better. Not only do we want to help young people make informed choices about sex and relationships, we also want to see them grow in confidence and self-esteem and for them to have a positive vision of family and community life.

As MPs, Healthcare workers and the wider society recognize that current approaches aren’t always working to reduce teenage pregnancy and the rise of STIs, we need to move from simply realizing that there are no quick fix solutions, to giving long term solutions the space they deserve before we stifle them for not providing short term, discernible results.

If we want young people to make wise choices, we need to work with them to change the culture that shapes all our values and attitudes. We need a shift in our education and in our thinking; a shift towards the celebration of relational faithfulness and integrity modeled in every aspect of our society.

Romance Academy offers that credible alternative for young people. As we strive to continually give young people a supportive peer group, we hope that their knowledge of sexual health related issues would increase, as well as confidence in their intrinsic value and ability to take responsibility and make intelligent choices.

If this has struck a chord or is something that you feel strongly about, get in touch! We love to meet passionate people, and are always looking for the next amazing Academy leader.
